Hi, I’m Beth. I spent 15 years as a comedian, and nearly 30 years as a writer for other comedians and TV shows, including Ellen, the Tonight Show, Late Show with David Letterman and the Oscars.
Comedians create instant emotional connection with any audience.
I can show you and your team how to use those same principles to fuel business success.
Why use use humor in business? For the same reason we use it in the rest of our lives:
Laughter is pure emotional connection.
When someone makes us laugh or smile, we feel seen and heard and understood. It’s a way to say things between the lines.
